All of the incorrect potion choices apparently result in the same "Regardless of what the potion actually did" text. This seems like a missed opportunity to come up with something entertaining for each wrong choice.

I would have liked to see one more ending - a very short one, where you "accidentally" kill the customers at the beginning with a horrific choice of which potion to give them.

There should be special reactions for each ption on each scenario. I know that will be a bitch to think up, let alone program, but it's extremely dull that I can't just give the adventurers superbeer and send them to fight a dragon.
